A Thank You Note from Dr. Bob Onder
I just received an email from Dr. Bob Onder, who ran for the Republican nomination for U.S. Congress from Missouri’s 9th CD. Although we did not get the outcome we were looking for, I feel privileged in being part of his campaign of grassroots supporters. I have met Dr. Onder and his wife Allison and they are wonderful people.
As our regular readers know, Dr. Onder co-sponsored one of the toughest immigration law enforcement bills in the country. It is being used as a template by other states as they write similar bills. He is an example of what can be done in this country when an informed and engaged electorate asserts it’s rights and responsibilities and demands that the country return to the rule of law.
If Dr. Onder decides to return to public life again, he will have a grassroots team ready to take up the cause.

Dear Friends and Supporters:
Allison and I would like to thank you for all of your help in my run for the Republican nomination for Missouri’s 9th Congressional seat. Although the outcome was not what we hoped for, we will always be grateful for your outpouring of support throughout our campaign. You joined with us as we fought for the true conservative principles that were the reason for this campaign. You sacrificed your time and were extremely generous with your contributions. We truly believe that all of these efforts combined will only help in nurturing and growing the conservative movement across our great state.
As most of you know, my decision to run for Congress was not a career choice, but a calling that I followed. I chose to run for Congress because of my conviction that Washington under the liberal Democrats is fundamentally broken, and I hoped to lead a new generation of conservative Republican reformers who would make the kind of real change that our country so desperately needs. I pledged to work to limit the size and scope of government in our lives, cut taxes, lower energy costs, protect innocent human life, defend our Second Amendment rights, and secure our borders. I know that you will join me in praying that whoever does succeed Congressman Hulshof in Congress will share these important goals.
Mother Theresa of Calcutta once said, “We are called not to be successful, but to be faithful.” Although we were not successful in the primary on August 5th, I know that each one of you was faithful to the calling to try to make our state and our country better reflect the principles valued by our founding fathers.
We have made many wonderful friendships along our journey. We do not know what plans God has for our political future, but we are confident that they will be revealed in due time. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bob@BobOnder.com if we may be of any service to you.
Again, we cannot say enough how much we appreciate your hard work and loving service. As I ended so many of my speeches, God bless you, and God bless America.
Sincerely,
Bob Onder
